The Beauty Radar: December

Fragrance obsessives, this one’s for you. New York label Nette has just arrived in the UK and its romantic, mood-boosting candles are perfect if you’re wanting to treat yourself to something special. Founded by former fashion editor and second generation candlemaker Carol Han Pyle, in just four years the brand has built up a cult following thanks to its unique poetry-meets-neuroscience approach. Available at Space NK, each one is crafted from a soy-coconut wax blend and premium, traceable ingredients. It also comes housed in a chic ceramic vessel you’ll want to keep long after the final burn.

You’ll find cutting-edge salon Aevum – the brainchild of trend forecaster Tom Smith – in Bloomsbury. Wrapped around a fig tree, the space is designed to feel more like a softly-lit retreat than a traditional cut-and-colour pit-stop. Quietly rewriting what a hair appointment can be, this health-first experience taps into the longevity trend and promises better hair, from all angles. Alongside the usual glossy blow-dries, you can expect offerings including red light therapy, acupuncture, Shiatsu massage, reflexology, scalp-boosting injectables and, where necessary, even doctor-led DNA testing referrals. Book in now for more good hair days in 2026.
